The 1960s were a revolutionary time for women's fashion, and hair was no exception. Wigs and hairpieces would be worn for convenience as well as for a particular aesthetic. The woman's real hair would be coiled or bunned underneath the hair piece. This wig is made of 100% human hair, and manufactured in Hong Kong.
